Endpoint example to export using template

This is a quick tutorial on how to use R4J's web services using CURL command. The following example will allow a faster start for users to use the R4J web services.

POST

https://eu.r4j-cloud.easesolutions.com/rest/api/1/projects/{projectId}/export

Export issue details on Word format

/rest/api/1/projects/{projectId}/export

The data in the response body when using R4J REST API (excluding the file exported in Tree UI) is in base64 format and can be decoded to a word document (.docx).

Example

# Get list of projects (with projectId) 
curl -X GET https://eu.r4j-cloud.easesolutions.com/rest/api/1/projects \ 
-H 'authorization: JWT <Token>'

# Get list of templates (with templateId) 
curl -X GET https://eu.r4j-cloud.easesolutions.com/rest/api/1/export-template \ 
-H 'authorization: JWT <Token>'

# Start export from project with id <projectId> 
# of folder with id <issueId> using template with id <templateId> 
# returns <taskId> 
curl -X POST https://eu.r4j-cloud.easesolutions.com/rest/api/1/projects/<projectId>/export \ 
-d '{"templateId": <templateId>, "itemOrIssueId": "<issueId>", "filter": null, "scope": "TREE_VIEW"}' \ 
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ 
-H 'authorization: JWT <Token>' 

# Poll export status, store reply to a file called <taskId> 
curl -X GET https://eu.r4j-cloud.easesolutions.com/rest/api/1/tasks/<taskId> \ 
-O \ 
-H 'authorization: JWT <Token>' 

# Check status of export 
jq -r '.status' <taskId> 

# If status “finished” 
# Convert data in data-field to docx (or xlsx, check with used template)
jq -r '.data | .data' <taskId> | base64 --decode > /mnt/c/tmp/Export.docx
